David Mazzucchelli has been making comics his whole life. Known chiefly for his collaborations - with Frank Miller on seminal Batman and Daredevil stories, and with Paul Karasik on an adaptation of Paul Auster's novel, City of Glass - he began publishing his own stories in 1991 in his anthology magazine, Rubber Blanket. Since then his short comics have been published in books and magazines around the world. Asterios Polyp is his first graphic novel, and has won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and been listed as a New York Times notable book.
The triumphant return of one of comics’ greatest talents, with an engrossing story of one man’s search for love, meaning, sanity, and perfect architectural proportions. An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait.
Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about?
As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he’s gotten to where he is. And isn’t. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually.
In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception.
Asterios Polyp is David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.

評分1 大傢肯定聽過馬伯庸的隕石遁吧,說的是馬伯庸寫的《我在江湖》,更新八章後太監多時,催更之下,忽有一日更新瞭第九章“大結局”: 眾人忽聽得頭上霹靂作響,紛紛抬頭看去,隻見晴空之上,赫然一個火球凜然而下。有膽小的大叫一聲哎喲媽喲,抱頭就跑,膽大的也隻是呆立原地盯...

評分真是不得瞭。一部形式放得很大的作品,而(形式之外的)內容絲毫沒有辜負那些形式。(This book is printed 100% on recycled paper.)
評分太妙瞭,連看兩遍。頭一次感覺「圖像」這種媒介被充分利用在瞭敘事裏,作者會通過綫條、顔色、排版、字體的變化刻畫人物,推動故事發展。讀的過程中我經常停下來「哇哦」一下,能把情緒用如此微妙又富有衝擊力的方式錶現齣來,真的太酷瞭。
評分這部纔華橫溢的作品很好的解釋瞭為什麼漫畫是可以超越電影的藝術形式。
